For you who are interested, they finally have a few pictures up on the DPAC website from the NDSOrchestra/Chieftains concert. I don't think I'm in any of the ones from Carnegie Hall, but I was there, I promise.
Edit: Oh wait, I'm in some of the rehearsal pics from Carnegie Hall. See, told you I was there.

You look really annoyed in the one from the Carnegie Hall peformance. :-) You must have really been getting into the act.
I think actually I was really sunburned and shakey from nerves and painkiller. So the annoyed might not be so much of an act...
Becca and Jason at Carnegie Hall! Awesome! :) And to think I knew them back in their days in the BJU Wind Band...
What pieces did you play?
Mostly (surprise!) Irish-type stuff. Very little you can't find on a Chieftains CD. I think my favorite was a piece called Galician Overture (It's on the CD Santiago). All the pictures with me out front are during a piece called Planxty Mozart. It's a play off Mozart Concerto No. 4, last movement, with a jig. It's sort of a dual against the Chieftains--I play a lick from the concerto all stuffy, they play a lick from the jig rather less than stuffily, and the whole thing accelerates to a frenzy. At that point I just give up and play the jig, and we finish the piece together. It's way more fun than any law student ought to be allowed to have. Let me tell you, though, I had some stage nerves!
That's awesome. I think I'm going to have to invest in some Chieftains CDs! (In a couple years, of course--after I'm finished with school and have disposable income again.)
